I like that Timbaland now realises how frickin' annoying his "featured" vocals can be.

If only that were true. Later on the alb he makes an effort to "Murder" murder, replacing what had been an actually funny rap by the Travis guy from Gym Class Heroes going "O.J. is my favorite Simpson." I wonder if there was record company pressure to delete that one.

One never knows, but my guess here is that though he's the first-listed producer on a number of tracks he farmed out most of the actual work out to King Logan, Jerome Harmon, and Jim Beanz. He has no writers credits on the album at all.

Turns out it's not Timbaland murdering "Murder" but a sound-alike. In any event, the rap isn't a significant part of the song, fortunately.
